 Episode three of cooking with Fred not sponsored, but if y'all want to give me a jingle you're cooking roasted chicken Oju is that how you pronounce it? He didn't want to do the salmon because it had nuts in it And yeah, he wasn't a fan of that and he didn't want to do the spaghetti because it's vegetarian So we got that we got this one. Yeah, you gotta have meat with your spaghetti. You need fluffy Meatballs And it's spaghetti not pasta We're gonna go there again, you're gonna get me demonetized. All right, so we're gonna cook this roast chicken thing. I Guess we better read the directions first So this homie dish that one of our chefs lovely called freckles when she was a little for the chives sprinkled on top Is comfort food for with a sophisticated touch crispy chicken white wine sauce. Okay. I'm already there man You already started drinking the wine with pea studied orzo That's a little pasta. It's pea studied. I didn't know peas had studs in them And it makes for a crowd-pleasing dinner. That's easy and delicious. Okay. All right. I like that white wine White wine sauce. I'm thinking I might not have to chop too many things this time It's out of the bag Chicken peas Look at the cute little baby chicken broth So cute. I usually buy the big giant ones. Yeah You got everything you need. We got butter cheese Look, and you got white wine. Spice mix Oh, I have to chop the chives like that. Yeah, white wine. I'm winding the bag Yeah, there's no cork flower. Don't you cork screw? This is probably Orgo and a lemon No, you'll need olive oil kosher salt and black pepper So I need to Rinse and slice the chives for you and cut the lemon in half Okay We need flour Perfect right with the plated boxes as they come wrapped in an awful lot of plastic the light is really bad. Sorry guys right out You just be free with your choices that way Be the rebel you are. I hope your hands are clean. That's good thing. I just got done watching embarrassing bodies About people who don't wash their hands If you all don't know what that is Yeah, look it up on Netflix. It's a UK TV show before worn Parts of it are disturbing Yeah, I won't watch it I'm gonna take the seat Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna take the seeds out of the lemon here so you don't actually get one in It would be because I'd rather not break a crown. Thank you very much. I think we need a pot for some water Yeah, we need a pot to boil the orza I'm vertically challenged and I can't reach You can't get that Bigger kitchen with lower shelves Perfect for me though See I run the directions that said first thing Preheat oven to 375 which you didn't do yet. Well, you didn't tell me to do that Bring a medium covered pot of medium covered pot of water to a boil over high heat Covering the water helps boil it faster Supposedly you told me to bread the chicken. Do the chicken. No, I you told me to do the chicken That's what I heard I heard do the chicken. I gotta bread the chicken and see the chicken I think you're hearing this. Do we need do we need to have your hair in checked? Huh? What? What? Okay, okay pasta So we're gonna sear this and then cook it in the oven Because you want to finish it. You don't want to eat pink chicken. That's how you get salmonella Sal who? Sal Sal you don't want to get sal sal is bad for you. Sal is bad. No, Sal. Sal's bad. Okay. No, Sal You gotta pat down. Oh, we only need half of the lemons. I can put one half in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer. Okay And we need uh, we have to pat down the uh The chicken We gotta pat down my meat. That's what I do pat down my meat Pretty terrible. I think Jesus Christ. I think you need more wine for this recipe I don't know. It's probably cheap wine. It's not in a bottle. It's in a bag Good drinks wine out of a bag. I meant this one that you poured for yourself. Oh that one. Yeah, I'll drink that I can do that So you gotta pat it down and cook how gooey it is. Well don't get the chicken juice all over everything It's all over my hands. We'll get sal then. We don't want sal. Sal is bad. Oh It looks like sal goo right there. Ew gooey sal I'm gonna have to sterilize the countertop Well we have to get some Disinfected wipes Clorox wipes. Nope They're not sorry not sponsored either, but if you all want to give me a jingle These we need to use well we use disinfecting wipes everywhere They're handy That looks like sal right there and get rid of some excess sal Put some sal out It looks nasty That's nasty sal Don't clean the pan out after you put the chicken in the oven No, why not? Because you'll need it to make a sauce I like sauce See I'm coating the chicken dear. It's coating I'm coating sal. I'm not playing with my meat. I'm just coating my meat I've got to coat your meat dear Um We're gonna change up the direction a little bit. Let us know if you want to put my frying pan in the oven So we'll use a glass pan So after you get the chicken seared put them in here Okay I don't want to put that pan in the oven. I think that's a bad idea with that particular pan That's a good pan Yeah, but I don't want to put it in the oven. No, we don't absolutely not Okay, so like three minutes on the How long should I cook this for dear? Um heat a little bit of olive oil in the pan Well is simmering chicken and sear until lightly brown about three minutes per side And then transfer it to the baking dish And then we'll make the sauce None of these recipes seem to take very long to make they all seem to be pretty quick Which is good. Oh 35 to 45 minutes. It's not bad roast chicken au jus with orzo and peas Probably didn't pronounce that right Try not to sneeze on the chicken either since you're still sick If I sneeze on I'll make sure it's cooked This is the picture of what it's supposed to look like Somebody said in episode one that we didn't show the plate and we didn't because we didn't expect to make this a cooking series Here on youtube, but we will try to show the plate. This is what it's supposed to look like We'll see if what ours look like. I don't know it'll look better Maybe it's gonna look so good.

Uh, it doesn't say to add salt to the water Okay, look out You know, me, um, me, we use a disinfectant wipe here and clean everything off because I had to work with my meat over here, so I was patting down my meat.

More, more Just say when, just say when He's lying We forgot He's like, you know, they don't cook it in the back They bring it out in front And they plate it It's during the plating See We forgot What's up with this cube of butter? Butter That's for We haven't gotten there yet Oh, good Okay, five, four, three, two, one In go Spread out, watch out Hot stuff coming Hold on, easy Watch it You put The rest of the chives on top Yeah, do you want to play camera man Or do you want me to? No, you know what I was thinking? Why don't we cut these up Ahead of time And place the cut up pieces on top What do you think? We could do that, it'll be prettier It'll be prettier And this way we're portion controlled Well, you know what I mean? Yeah, you want to just cut them up on this cutting board? No, I'll just kind of do it right here Can I have this? Maybe Maybe So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to cut this up here into nice little pieces Strips So that we can Number one, you can make sure that it's fully cooked Which it is So we don't want salt, come visiting Sal needs to go away So it has to be not pink in the middle And then this way You can say, well I don't want a whole breast I just want like three pieces Well, you know I'm going to say that You know you're going to say that, right? So if I cut this up here you can say, well I only want three out of five And I can say, well you can do that, I don't know why But you can definitely do that Again, if you want to be a communist, that's fine Just kidding Again, emails to 1600 Pennsylvania Okay, so So you arrange them on the plate?

Oh, well okay Make sure that I have the rest of the chicken I love chicken That's, if that's mine, that's plenty for me Right? Because you don't need the whole piece Because sometimes, you know, we have male privilege and males want more chicken than the female I may be thick and fluffy, but I'm not thick and fluffy because I eat a lot I'm thick and fluffy because I don't get out and walk enough We want to have portion control where the lady can say, you know, I want to keep my girlish figure and only have four out of the five pieces Where the guy may say, you know, I'm a big burly guy And I could, I could, I could eat six out of five pieces And grab the one from the lady And not be, you know, and still, still be, still be a, still be a good guy So I'm going to do this here Do that there Oh, nice and tender Look, that just kind of falls apart on the bone Okay, is that good?
